    Sometimes you see a fighter that looks very promising, then he loses, and well, just fades away. A couple of years ago I thought Franciso "Panchito" Bojado was going to do something in boxing but then he lost and just faded away, anybody else has any names?

    He lost a fight and got into legal troubles. I actually met him in Lenox mall when I was living in Atlanta. He had the talent, didnt have the desire or dedication.

    Mohammed Abdulaev once looked promising. So was Michael Bentt.

    David Reid, although I've seen one or two follow-up articles on him in the past few years.

    Jeff Lacey looked promising, now he looks to be one fight away from retirement.

    I really thought David Estrada would do a little more and he seems all but done now too.

    Williams is out and fighting again. He had a first round KO last month. I'm pretty sure he signed with Gary Shaw.


    Abdullaev was a damn good fighter, but turned pro too late. After he lost to Kotelnik, he decided to retire.

    Abdulaev is retired....

    Michael Bentt is an actor now... He was in State Property 2.... Apparently, whatever Herbie Hide did to em, made em walk away from the game...

    He has another fight coming up... He was in jail for quite some time... But now he's back...

    WHERE THE HELL IS SYD VANDERPOOL~!?!?!?
